Beretta Update

I picked my car up from the body shop yesterday. The frame was pulled, it got a new hood and latch, new bolts for the front clip, new wheel bearings, new windshield and a few other small things. To my surprise it also got new paint. The body guy was cool about everything, I paid a lot less than I would have. He told me he understands what it's like being young and not having much money. I'm happy everything on this car turned out, it will be ready to drive this week after I get inspection & emissions.

Before and after pics.

It went from looking like hell, to turning out looking almost 100x better. The paint on the front clip is not a perfect match but it almost isn't noticeable in pictures. But can't complain about free paint!

From the looks of it, he found you a new front clip of that color... It looks like the hood has a buckle in it that wasnt there in the old pics.... Right front corner of hood.... Left side looking at the car.

He did get a new hood, it's red underneath. The front bumper is off my old car, there is overspray on my wheel wells.

I'm planning on getting the rest of the car painted this summer. I like the new color better than the original.
